Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 unit large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups chopped rhubarb
- 0.25 cup light brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon for topping
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with non-stick spray.
Step 2
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
Step 3
In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and well blended.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter will be thick.
Step 5
Fold in the chopped rhubarb, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Step 6
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Step 7
In a small bowl, mix the light brown sugar and additional ground cinnamon for the topping. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter in each muffin cup.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Step 9
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Enjoy your cinnamon rhubarb muffins warm or at room temperature!
